Thanks for the input. I haven't stop driving my car. I've just made an observation that the car seems to be a lot less efficient after I installed the exhaust and wondering if others have experienced it.
Don't think my observations between fuel economy and exhaust change is totally unrelated. If it is so silly to you, there is always the "back" button or just don't reply.

When I say silly, I am meaning to say that this is not a concern and you shouldn't waste anymore of your efforts being worried about it.

Sorry for the conversion issues. I will just reference it based on liters.
LOL I wish that was the case. The car just needs a slightly heavier foot to get going now but by no means and I flooring it.
Based on my current tank of gas, I will get about 460 km. Current L per 100 km is 13.7. I don't idle my car at all.
The fuel economy is especially bad when my car has been sitting for a while. For the first 5 mins, the fuel consumption bars are maxed no matter what speed I am driving at (usually around 50 kph since I am getting out of a residential area) .
The fuel economy gets better once the car is fully warmed up which wasn't the case prior to the exhaust install.

I don't idle to warm up.
I drive like a granny until engine and trans are warmed up.
I run my car through second and third once a day to blow off the carbon deposits.
I've got 45k km on my odometer.
I drive about 60 city/40 highway.

I've found that my mileage gets worse in the winter. It's probably a combination of the winter tires, colder air, and idling a little longer to warm up.
My average city fuel economy was around 12L/100km in the summer and closer to 13L/100km in the winter. My average combined fuel economy is about 10L/100km in summer and 10.8L/100km in winter doing 65/35 highway/city.

Thanks for the reference.
I don't warm up during idle
I don't gas up quickly until the car is warm
I don't don't run my car through 2nd &3rd, should start, sounds fun. LOL
I think my car is at about 38kms
my driving is probably 80 city/20 highway
Last winter before the exhaust, I was averaging around 600 km per tank. 460 km just seems crazy low. Will keep an eye out for the next tank and go from there.

Don't' misunderstand my sarcasm as attitude. This world has far too many people who are offended by everything, please don't be one of those people.

Sounds pretty normal. How many kms do you get per tank?

Heck, there are so many in this country that barely understand imperial units....
One can only hope after this oldest generation dies off, an integration into metric can begin.
Another case in point, a transition to metric would be a great topic to bring up during a presidential debate! BUT, we have to continue talking about deporting Mexicans....ugh
Either way......
